When homewear shops, high security apartment blocks, planter boxes, gelato and unsightly public art suddenly invaded Redfern, artists and long-time residents of the area Keg de Souza and Zanny Begg found themselves amongst many being driven out to cheaper suburbs.
THERE GOES THE NEIGHBOURHOOD arose out of a 10-year archive project they were undertaking to document the changes in the area, called 2016 (the title being the expected date of completion and the postcode of the hotly contested suburb).
Launching at Performance Space next week, TGTN will be examining the politics of urban space in Redfern and on a global scale. Besides an extensive exhibition, international guests including Danish urban activist Jakob Jakobsen, a tour of Redfern from SquatSpace, an interactive boxing game, artist talks and a new publication, TGTN will also feature a re-enactment of Allan Kaprow's 1960s participatory installation PUSH AND PULL, hosted by our friends at Locksmith.
As Keg and Zanny said at their fundraiser earlier this year: "gentrification has never been so fashionable".
